Class template `cpp_dec_float` fulfils all of the requirements for a [link boost_multiprecision.ref.backendconc Backend] type.
Its members and non-member functions are deliberately not documented: these are considered implementation details that are subject
to change.

The class takes three template parameters:

[variablelist
[[Digits10][The number of decimal digits precision the type
should support.  Note that this type does not normally perform any dynamic memory allocation, and as a result the `Digits10`
template argument should not be set too high or the class's size will grow unreasonably large.]]
[[ExponentType][A signed integer type that represents the exponent of the number]]
[[Allocator][The allocator used: defaults to type `void`, meaning all storage is within the class, and no dynamic
allocation is performed, but can be set to a standard library allocator if dynamic allocation makes more sense.]]
]

The type of `number_category<cpp_dec_float<Args...> >::type` is `boost::mpl::int_<number_kind_floating_point>`.

More information on this type can be found in the [link boost_multiprecision.tut.floats.cpp_dec_float tutorial].
